🖼 #ETH Nansen: Trading volume #NFT on Ethereum has more than doubled in 2023, while the number of unique wallets has not increased as much.
At the same time, throughout the NFT market, the first week of May had the least number of sales and users this year. Trading volumes fell by 30%.

The data above suggests that Ethereum NFT users traded with high volume rather than a significant increase in new users, which can probably be attributed to the #BLUR token giveaway.

📊 #ETH Glassnode Ethereum Report:
- After the Shanghai/Capella update, a significant portion of the shares were withdrawn (>1M ETH) and more than 48,000 validators left the staking pool. But this did not have a significant impact on the price, which may be due, among other things, to high demand for deposits, observed during this period. Expected that this trend will continue in the near future
- in general, the results of the analysis show that the Proof-of-Stake mechanics for both incoming and outgoing validators work as expected, and Ethereum consensus mechanism remains stable throughout the entire process. This will likely eliminate long-standing engineering problems that will positively affect both the security of the network and the economy built on it.
